What the petition asks
Encourge Universities to either Lower their Tution Fees or provide new and returning students with the correct equiptment, such as laptops, notebooks, pens etc. needed for them to complete/begin their Academic Training.
As a returning student to university I have been massively impacted, like everyone, by the Coronavirus outbreak. However unlike students who attend Primary, Secondary and AS Level schools we have been left in the dark in regards our £9000+ education.
With Strikes and initial lockdown at the beginning of the year not allowing us to complete our studying and being unable to work over summer to financially prepare ourselves for the new semester we are asking for support from our universities.

You could start a petition calling for the Government to provide grants to students for equipment, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
